Planning Dapper +1, The Edgy Eft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the score-one-for-creative-names dept.

Christian Jensen writes "On the ubuntu-announce mailing list, Mark Shuttleworth announced the plans for the next Ubuntu release - 'The Edgy Eft', the successor to Dapper Drake." This release is being touted as both cutting edge (edgy) and containing several comparatively "young" software additions ('Eft' being a 'youthful newt, going through its first exploration of the rocky territory just outside the stream.') like Xen, XGL/AIGLX, and others.

    I personally think their little names are quite clever.. who cares anyway.. the damn distro works better than any crap RPM based distro ANY day.. i'm GLAD to see they're implementing Xgl in this big release.. shit is gonna start hitting the fan.. i finally got Xgl to work with my cloned twinview setup, and man its unbelievable.. the fact that Ubuntu is running behind this nice Xgl interface, makes it even BETTER.. i'll continue to recommend this distro, and future distros, to all my friends, and to any one who doesn't want to spend $200 on a CRAP OS..

    It's the linspire of debian.

    now usually that would't be such a big fucking deal, but seeign as this shitty distro is gaining popularity so fast due to the miracles of apt we could soon be stuck with the noobie shitness of ubuntu provided as on OEM.

    I agree too.

    Ubuntu is based on Debian, but unlike Debian... I *WANT* to use Ubuntu.

    queue the Ubunutu icon...
